DISTANT SUFFERING XXVI | brought to you by

The Militairy-Industrial Complex determines to an extreme extent our political decision-making and thus our economy. Almost all wars these companies provoke, serve as the floodgates through which billions of dollars flow uncontrolled into the pockets of the few.

The suffering associated with the generated violence is indescribable; the total damage is planet-destroying. Click her for the video-link.

statement

Since 2013, by means of the ongoing art-series DISTANT SUFFERING, the Dutch artist Hans Overvliet (Leiden, 1952) investigates the role of the media in their representtation of (military) violence. This, in the context of themes as perception, memory and identity formation.

Overvliet uses a various range of media, symbols and codes, bringing together dichotomies like beauty and violence, refinement and brutality, the sublime and the vulgar.

Aspects of power, politics, exclusion, censorship and the connection between artist, artwork and viewer infiltrate his multifaceted conceptual oeuvre.

As a reporter, Overvliet was an eyewitness to the events in the Middle East during the 1980s. Of course these experiences resonate in DISTANT SUFFERING. Elements of distant suffering were exhibited in the Netherlands, Belgium, Pakistan, England, France, Italy, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Lebanon and Sweden.

Next to his art-work he is, together with his wife Willy van Houtum, the founder and every day guardian of ruimteCAESUUR, the 27-year old space for contemporary art in Middelburg.
